Tokyo City Keiba Race 9 - Yamaboshi Sho
UNDINE (6) rates on top after a dominant 7L win at Hanshin 1400m 12 days ago (55kg) and stays at the trip from barrier 6. BELLE VEIL (4) is a key threat, coming off a Hanshin 1400m win 20 days ago (55kg) and draws better from barrier 4 after scoring from 11. LIZHITSUMODORAICHI (2) impressed leading throughout over 1800m at Niigata first-up and drops 400m second-up from barrier 2. ELAN VITA (3) resumes after 90 days and was a debut winner at Fukushima 1150m, retaining the Miura/Tsukazaki combination and drawing barrier 3.

Debuted 13 days ago at Nakayama over 1200m and won by 3.5L on a sloppy track (SP 13), travelling 3rd-3rd-1st and scoring over Gemini Dieu under 55kg. Rises 200m and draws the inside after jumping from 11 last time, with Kohei Matsuyama taking over. Second-up from barrier 1, he maps to get every chance to build on that strong start.

Debut winner at Niigata over 1800m, leading throughout to score by 1.5L at $5 with 55kg. Second-up after 54 days, he draws barrier 2 and drops 400m, with Yuga Kawada taking over from Keita Tosaki. Proven speed and the inside draw suggest a positive map if he handles the shorter trip.

First-up and returns after 2 months, having won on debut at Fukushima over 1150m on 27 Jun (55kg, SP 4.8) by 1.5L, settling 5th before taking over and beating Moon Beryl. Draws barrier 3 after scoring from 2, with Kosei Miura again engaged and an unbeaten record with this trainer-jockey pairing. The 250m rise in trip looks a natural progression and he profiles as a solid chance to build on that start.

Impressed last start at Hanshin over 1400m, sitting handy before taking over to win by 0.3L (55kg, SP 2.9) from barrier 11. That followed a solid 4th at Chukyo over the same trip when drawn wide (barrier 13) at SP 17. Draws barrier 4 now and looks to be building nicely third-up after 20 days.

Proven at 1200m with a Sapporo win two starts back (55kg, SP 3.5) after racing on speed, and her barrier profile is a positive with 1 win from this draw range. Comes off a 7th at Sapporo over 1200m 27 days ago (3.61L, SP 8.5) and now draws better in gate 5. Genuine chance to rebound if she reproduces her prior on-pace effort.

Impressive first-up winner 12 days ago at Hanshin over 1400m (55kg) when sent off 2.15, improving mid-race and putting 7L on Still Love Her. Now second-up with a strong Hanshin/1400 profile (2:1-0-1) and an unbeaten pairing with Ryuusei Sakai (1:1-0-0), she looks well placed from barrier 6. Solid claims to hold form at the same track and trip.

Powered to a 3L win at Chukyo over 1400m 41 days ago (55kg, SP 23) after racing handy from gate 16, beating Maru Mori My Best. That followed a fifth at Kokura over 1200m when $81, so the rise to 1400m clearly suited. Third-up now with Yutaka Take aboard and drawn barrier 7, she profiles to hold that form.

Resuming first up after 3 months with an unbeaten 1400m record (1:1-0-0), having scored at Tokyo over 1400m on 14 Jun carrying 55kg at $26 when settling midfield and finishing 1.25L clear of Star Flash. Sticks with Takuya Ono and the same trainer-jockey combo that delivered that win, and draws a couple better than last time (barrier 8 from 10). Well set up to run well fresh again.
